Updating your contact information

It is your responsibility to keep your primary email address and mobile phone number up to date so that MCAT Self Prep can communicate with you electronically. You understand and agree that if MCAT Self Prep sends you a Communication but you do not receive it because your primary email address or mobile phone number on file is incorrect, out of date, blocked by your service provider, or you are otherwise unable to receive Communications, MCAT Self Prep will be deemed to have provided the Communication to you.
